Now that a year is complete and lay in the past, it’s time to reflect upon the highlights, the best and most meaningful moments of 2013. Highlights of 2013 This past year I was President of Nspire Innovation Network, a student-run non-profit dedicated to building leaders in the business and technology space. In January we…
Couldn’t end such an amazing trip without a recap of the highlights of the whole experience! Damage The total damage was as follows. Gav and I broke three pairs of flip flops. Tekin lost his jeans and shoes. Connor broke the stove top and lost Alberto’s glasses. Gav sliced his toe flipping into the pool.…
Nica 6: Jan 1 Day after New Years was super chill, exactly the rest we were looking for. Slept in till 3 pm and we pretty much stayed at home all day. We went out one last time in San Juan Del Sur. We had a few drinks at a gringo bar and that was…
Day 5: New Years Day New Years Eve. Gameday. This was the day we all were super pumped for. It was New Years Day. Took us a couple of hours to get out of bed and out of the house, but we finally made it out if the building. We were planning on surfing but…
Day 4: Dec 30 Day 4 in Nicadise couldn’t have been more real. We started the day chilling by the pool, doing yoga, flips and push-ups for a great workout. Gav cut his toe, no one knows how, but funny it would happen to him. We then took the party to Marsella beach, a small…
Day 3: Dec 29 Third day in paradise, jam-packed full of adventures. We got to see some of Nicaragua’s biggest landmarks. We started the day at the Masaya volcano crater, one of the five most dangerous volcanoes in all of America. Took a little hike and saw the crater of a now extinct volcano. This…
Day 2: Dec 28 Second day in Nicadise was great. We began the morning chilling by the pool and passing around the soccer ball, while the others were picking up Zoe. Once she arrived we set out to spend the day in Granada, Nicaragua’s old town. It was full of small shops and mini markets.…
Day 1: Dec 27 Arrived to Nicaragua, so different. It’s a flat country and everything’s spread out. No tall buildings, tallest was a 7 story bank. Streets are wide with tons of roundabouts, very light traffic. Few minutes in we already ran into kids on the street begging for cordobas, (Nicaraguan currency). They came up…
Many say the role of the ‘Team Leader’ is somewhat unnecessary as they typically do less work and more management. I’ve always disagreed with the notion, but recently learned a harsh lesson in the matter. It was during a 4th year semester long group project. The reality is this. We did a good job as…
Perhaps it’s due to the brisker walking in the winter chill. Or perhaps it’s because it is Thanksgiving Weekend in the USA right now. But I found myself reflecting this past week on the notion of Pace of Life. It started last week. I found myself rushing home after class, dodging slow-walking pedestrians along the narrow…
